DaShanne Stokes Civil Rights Activist
June 19, 2015
Robert Gates' remarks characterizing the Boy Scouts' ban against gay adults as "unsustainable" come at a critical time in the organization's history. Many people are rightly embracing Dr. Gates' remarks, but as DaShanne argues in his latest op-ed in The Advocate, Gates' comments don't go far enough.
